Description

Golden, crispy, and filled with melty cheese, this Waffled Grilled Cheese is the easiest upgrade to your classic sandwich—made right in the waffle maker!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices of Bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1 tablespoon Butter or Mayonnaise
  • Optional: Tomato slices, Cooked Bacon, Pesto, Caramelized Onions


Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron. Lightly grease if needed.
  2. Butter the outside of each bread slice.
  3. Place shredded cheese between the slices, keeping it away from edges.
  4. Place sandwich in waffle iron and close gently. Cook 3–5 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. Let cool 1–2 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use mayo instead of butter for extra flavor.
  • Shredded cheese melts faster and more evenly than slices.
  • Don’t overfill to avoid cheese leakage.
